Yep, the Boxers have that raw look and feel of a sports car that one needs to learn how to drive properly.

No nanny electronics to save your butt, if entering or exiting a corner incorrectly ;-)
Unfortunately, those days of cars are long since gone and while the environment is and will be better off, our enjoyment of driving for the visceral feel is disappearing right before our eyes. The old sayings stand, "Time marches forward" and "Nothing in life stands/stays still" however, not all forward progress is good for us, even though we might believe it or be lead to believe it. Cars & Coffee down near where I live is always massively attended and these machines will still inspire passion and excitement I hope for many moons to come.
Steps off soap box....

I always wanted to try driving the 575M Maranello which is based on the 550. Very cool car.

As I have had the pleasure of owning one and driving both of these two, I recommend trying both cars if you get the opportunity. The 550 is a very good Ferrari to drive. The car is very well judged as a complete package with an epic engine especially with...
Good to know!

I was primarily looking for a 575M with the Handling package. But they've gotten too expensive now. And I also want a car that I can drive on a daily basis. And like you said as well, I've been told that there may be situations where I don't love the padd...

...when I was there. One was parked in an outdoor lot under a freeway. The other in the garage of our building. Really beautiful...a manual Ferrari is a grail for most : )
Indeed!

My understanding was that while he was waiting...

sitting at a table and drinking too much wine, a fly kept landing on his hand. After a while he couldn't help but notice the fly's bright yellow eyes, or so the story goes

I remember a day in school when another kid was being picked up by his uncle in a 348i. The look and sound, oh baby, the sound. That Ferrari growl... They certainly don't make 'em like that any more. To me, modern cars with their poppy whines lack that ha...
